Thanks for that!

Impressive work. How many cans of silicone did you use?
-
Hi @evgeniy88,
I probably needed a lot less than half a can. The relief of the milling helps to save material and still guarantee stability.Soon I will start building a bathroom mirror cabinet with a magic mirror. I will post the details in this forum again. :-)
Best regards

Thanks for your posts. At first I was skeptical about the idea of gluing a mirror on silicone, but now I want to use your design.

Thanks a lot

Hi,
Thank you for all this info.
I am at the very start of my magic mirror journey and came across you mirror which is simply fantastic.
I noticed you had metal LED buttons on the side of your frame which I would like to install one in mine for powering opn/off.
Having looked at button tutorials I see most are just 2 jumper wires to the GIPO is this the same for your buttons?
How is the LED powered?thanks!

Hi,
please forgive the late reply. It slipped through.I use these buttons: https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B00JSEX1A0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
These have separate connections for “nomaly closed” NC and “normaly open” NO. And there are also the connections for the button LED.
But I did not connect the LEDs. Otherwise, besides the LED of the toothbrush and the LED of the mouthwash and the LED of the razor and … another LED would burn. Then I could slowly save the ceiling lighting in the bathroom :-)

Hi Josef,
Looks very impressive. Which source do you use for the wooden frame?
Thanks a lot
Peter -
Hi @PeterKatana,
What do you mean by source?
The frame is made of beech wood. You can buy it from a wood dealer or carpenter. I have taken solid wood shelf savior made of beech from the hardware store. These are glued rod-wise and therefore torsion-resistant.

Hi Josef,
thanks for the recommendation. I will search here for a carpenter. A miter saw I should have. Before I lived in Aschheim, that was easier. Now I am jobwise in Göppingen. Will search around.
I am curious for your next project you announced.
Stay safe !

Hallo @PeterKatana,
Ich kann dir den Rahmen auch zuschneiden, wenn du mir die Maße sagst. Vielleicht kommst du ja mal nach Oberschleißheim oder in die Nähe.

Your mirror looks amazing, but I am wondering. How is the electronics holding up, being put in a bathroom with alot of moisture? I cant see you did anything extra to keep moisture out of the mirror?
-
Hi @SuneRadich ,
all electrical connections are clamped together in junction boxes for damp locations. The Raspberry Pi is also in such a box. Only the connections of the screen are in their original box, which in my view is not specially protected against moisture.
So far, there have been no problems and even if you remove the mirror, you won’t see anything scorched or similar damage.
Regards

Just amazing! So well executed. Thank you for the inspiration! :)

Servus @spitzlbergerj ,
danke für Dein Angebot. Ich habe gestern noch nach Deiner Empfehlung einen Schreiner gefunden. Hoffe, der bekommt das jetzt hin. Falls das nicht klappen sollte, komme ich gern auf Dein Angebot zurück. Ist ja mein erster MM insofern vermute ich, das ich sowieso mit 100 Fragen zurück komme und vielleicht auch den Rahmen wieder verändern muss. Wir werden sehen. Tolle Community übrigens !
Grüße Peter

@PeterKatana, alles klar, melde dich einfach. Ich werde morgen den MagicAlibert weiterbauen. Die Spiegel sollten nächste Woche kommen ;-)

Hallo @spitzlbergerj,
eine Frage kommt mir noch in den Sinn: Ich habe meinen Spiegel so designed, dass ich einen IR Frame (Touch Screen) mit verwenden kann. Was ist denn Deine Meinung zu solchen Dingen. Im Bad wahrscheinlich nicht so praktisch, aber ich dachte im Flur, wenn man noch Aktivitäten steuern mag …wie Musik, oder das Display im Karusell …
Vielen Dank ! Vg Peter -
Hi @PeterKatana,
im Bad würde ich das nicht machen. Der Woman Acceptance Faktor würde vermutlich rasant in den Keller gehen, wenn auf dem Spiegel ständig “Dapper” (wie man in Bayern sagt) sind.
Ich habe einen Spiegel mit einen Standard 7" Raspberry Monitor. Aber selbst da habe ich Touch am Ende nie benutzt. Es sind bei mir einfach InfoSchirme. Aktionen löse ich über Schalter, Taster, … aus. -
Hi @spitzlbergerj ,
Du hast schon Recht. Der Woman Acceptance Factor würde sicher darunter leiden. So richtig viele Anwendungsfälle außer vielleicht Musik steuern oder bei den Nachrichten weiterschalten fallen mir auch nicht ein. Mal schaun. Ich bau das mal zusammen mit dem IR Frame. Vielleicht entstehen da noch Szenarien, wo es sinnvoll ist.
Danke für Deine Einschätzung !
